It's a travel agency that have been commissioned to support those who live a significant distance away from London/the bank. I don't imagine you'll be reimbursed for travel given that you live in London.

Um why not travel us travel they will reimburse just because you live outside London does not mean you get any more privileges than those who ate Londoners.

Londoners probably have more flexibility as it is JUST travel fair they have to reimburse not accommodation.

Nope, I've got a place on Pinsent Masons gap year programme so will be working at their London office for the year. Firmed Kings College London to study law in Sept' 14 though, how about you?

Impressive, are you more interested in Law then or keeping your options open in terms of IB? I've firmed LSE for September, just couldn't keep away from London.

Got a call from RBS this morning for the 12th and 13th of August event

Hi, got a place for RBS on the 8/9th August. Guy on the phone said it's at Bishopsgate and that it is 10am-6pm both days. He was talking about the dates I was attending but I don't see any reason why it should be different from the others. Everything else he mentioned was already on the email.

Question though, I feel as if I'm underprepared, like I don't know much about banking but I'm only 18 so am I expected to? Anyone have any suggestions on what to do before then to prepare?

congrats on getting in, the london one? have you had the follow up email yet about exact time and location? the email says you're supposed to get it in a few days (its been 2 weeks now!) and the rbs site still says my application is under consideration

Has anyone else who's been accepted for RBS (Aug 1st-2nd, in particular) heard anything else? We were supposed to get another email within five days, or something

I'm Aug 1st-2nd, not heard anything since the initial email. Have booked my train tickets and received an email from RBS saying they will book accommodation shortly..

are they paying for your accommodation aswell?

I got 12/13 after getting rejected by every other insight day, they're not even paying for my travel because I live in london lol

Ill be up for 5 to make sure I catch my 6am train (3 hour journey), early start isnt an issue tbh, lucky to be picked and it will be worth it. Hopefully will see some of you there on the 12 and 13th session.

Dear All

I would like to ask a favour from any of you if that's okay. Would anyone who has dates for 1st/2nd August, 8th/9th August, 12th/13th August, be willing to take up a date for September in London? The reason I ask is because I am abroad on 24th August so was only able to take 20th/21st August in Edinburgh, but I've just been told that's very likely going to be cancelled due to lack of interest. I would love to go attend the event and seeing as uni starts in october for most of england would it would be great for me if someone would be willing to call up rbs and mention me and say that you're willing to swap?

If this is possible for anyone and you're willing to go through this hassle then PM or reply to this, I'd be very grateful!

I don't have a letter through the post for my 12/13 event but am confidant with the emails and correspondence, so don't let that deter you. If you still are, give them a ring. Also with the accommodation, you check in on your first evening and check out on the second morning at the specified times. However as the second day starts at 7.30 am you'd obviously make sure you are out for that time anyway. Hope this helps.
